NanoLock Security has become the first company to introduce device-level protection solutions for legacy and new industrial machinery and smart factory production lines.
NanoLock’s industrial solutions are available in the United States, through World Wide Technology (WWT), a major American professional services integrator.
NanoLock’s zero-trust industrial product suite was developed in cooperation with industrial and manufacturing companies to protect ICS devices and industrial machines and ensure the operational integrity of machines and production lines with zero impact on performance and functionality.
(NanoLock Security protects the operational integrity of connected devices and machines against cyber events and even human errors with a zero-trust, Device Level prevention against outsiders, insiders, supply chain attack vectors, and even technician mistakes.

Easily integrated into devices and systems, this innovative and unique solution ensures the integrity and safety of connected industrial devices from multiple attack vectors, including outsiders, insiders, supply chain sources, and human errors.
HOW IT WORKS
The Embedded Gatekeeper: 360 Degrees Protection
NanoLock’s gatekeeper is embedded in a device/machine and features a robust locking mechanism that blocks all modification attempts unless they were signed by a trusted authorization server.
NanoLock’s preventive, zero-trust approach rejects all unsigned change requests
-
Regardless of attack origin – network or local, physical or remote
-
Regardless of attack or event vector – outsider, insider or supply chain and even human mistake
-
Regardless if the attacker has root access/credentials
(insider or supply chain)
-
Regardless of the vulnerability
Amidst today’s cyber chaos, it is impossible to predict where the next APT could come from, whether it be state-level conflicts, financial hackers, insiders, or anyone along the supply chain.
NanoLock’s Industrial Solution Suite, protected by 6 patents, prevents APTs and other cyberattacks on industrial machines, programmable logic controllers (PLC), industrial control systems (ICS), and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) devices by applying a device-level Zero Trust security approach that prevents unauthorized modification attempts to their functionality.
“The chaotic reality of the cybersecurity landscape is that there is no way to know where the next attack will come from, so the world must move away from detection to prevention to ensure business continuity,” explains NanoLock CEO, Eran Fine.
“The recent joint cybersecurity advisory emphasizes the need to adopt a different security approach, to better protect the industrial/OT environment for both legacy and new machines.”
NanoLock’s Zero Trust security solutions address many of the recommendations cited in the joint Cybersecurity Advisory(CSA) issued on April 13th by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the National Security Agency (NSA), and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), which was recognized in the 2020 ‘ASTORS’ Awards Program.

NanoLock will be onsite with live demonstrations to showcase its device-level cybersecurity with live demonstrations in the WWT Booth (#511 Hall B) at DISTRIBUTECH International, May 23-25, 2022 in Dallas, TX.
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Recognized in 2020 ‘ASTORS’ Awards Program
American Security Today’s Annual ‘ASTORS’ Awards is the preeminent U.S. Homeland Security Awards Program, and now in its Seventh Year, continues to recognize industry leaders of Physical and Border Security, Cybersecurity, Emergency Preparedness – Management and Response, Law Enforcement, First Responders, as well as federal, state and municipal government agencies in the acknowledgment of their outstanding efforts to Keep our Nation Secure.
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
Excellence in Homeland Security
-
The IC3 serves as the FBI’s central hub to receive, develop, and refer criminal complaints regarding the rapidly expanding occurrences of Internet crime
-
IC3 provides the public with a reliable and convenient reporting mechanism to submit reports of suspected Internet-facilitated criminal activity and to develop alliances with law enforcement and industry partners.
(Actress Kirsten Vangsness, who plays tech-savvy FBI analyst Penelope Garcia on the show Criminal Minds, is promoteing the awareness of Internet crimes and scams and encourages the public to report suspected criminal cyber activity to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3).

-
Information is analyzed and disseminated for investigative and intelligence purposes to law enforcement and for public awareness.
-
Since 2000, the IC3 has received complaints crossing the spectrum of cyber crime matters, to include online fraud in its many forms including intellectual property rights (IPR) matters, computer intrusions (hacking), economic espionage (theft of trade secrets), online extortion, international money laundering, identity theft, and a growing list of Internet facilitated crimes.
-
It has become increasingly evident that, regardless of the label placed on a cybercrime matter, the potential for it to overlap with another referred matter is substantial.
-
IC3 develops leads and notifies law enforcement agencies at the federal, state, local and international level.
